A Special Message from Laurel Crossley-Byers:

Staying Connected is one of THE MOST important things we can do as we travel down the path of Motherhood!

When I began my journey into Motherhood, there were no online discussion boards, no social media outlets and heck, not even any Mother’s groups – basically as Moms you were on your own. I was living in a small town in North Halton with no resources. Couple that with having worked up until the day I delivered, I didn’t have any connections with any new Moms!

Since then, I have founded Opti-Mom and made it my mission to support Moms. And even since the inception of Opti-Mom in 2005, Moms’ groups have sprung up everywhere. It is SO important that we stay connected both online and IRL (in real life), that we openly discuss what our needs are, that we access as many community resources as possible and that we share our stories!

MomU! a little t.v. show that I presented to Cogeco about 2 years ago is now into it’s second season and is another way that I have found to reach out to the community at large. After all, if there isn’t a support mechanism for you – START ONE!! So Auntie Laurel says – stay connected, speak openly and get supported- it takes a village to raise a child and 3 villages to raise their parents! ;)
